Converting Items to
Text With OCR
PaperPort items, such as scanned documents, are images. Even the text
on a scanned item is simply a picture of the text, which you can't edit as
you would edit text in a word-processing document. Using PaperPort's
built-in OCR (optical character recognition) application, you can
convert text "images" into real text that you can then edit using a word-
processing application, such as Microsoft Word.
If you already own another OCR application, you can use either it or
PaperPort's built-in OCR application to convert items to editable text.
